Extremes

Veganism, zero-waste, esoteric, politics ... No matter what subject we're talking about, I feel like people are getting less and less tolerant - and unfortunatelly I see this on my side as well. But is it actually even possible not to be "extreme" in these subjects?

Why Don't We Eat Cat Meat

Is it possible to thrive on compeletely plant-based diet, without eating any meat and other animal products? How many of us can imagine eating no ice cream, cheese or chicken nuggets anymore? And once you decide to go for it ... how to do it ?
Last month I created a questionnaire which got about 1200 respondents in just three days. If you're interested in how many animal products "ordinary" people consume, how they percieve the killing of animals and how much information they (don't) know about the story behind their food ... then keep reading! :)
 

The Story Behind Your Plate

As Stalin said, "The death of man is a a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistics." This makes sense not only for people. We look at the animals the same way. When we read a story about someone who abused and killed a puppy or a cat, we're upset, we call those people bastards and we wish them to experience the sae horrors like those their pets went through ... But many of these people complain about these things while eating a hamburger or chicken nuggets. They feel sorry for animals we consider as "pets" while they're eating flesh of another's dead animal. But... food industry animals do not have any life story ... Or do they?

#1 DAIRY series: 10 Health Reasons to Give Up Dairy

I was thinking about giving up dairy for a long time - from ethical and also health reasons. But it was too hard for me. As a kid I used to be cheese lover - feta, mozarella, blue cheese - I used to love all of them. Also I used to have yogurt for breakfast almost every morning. And giving up ice cream, sour cream, butter, the food that used to be a part of my daily diet plan ? That seemed absolutely impossible for me. On the other hand I began to realize more and more reasons to actually give up dairy. Right now I limit my dairy consumption to minimum - I gave it up almost completely, I just had some weak moments when I ate something containing dairy. But moreover I wasn't only able to give up dairy - I don't even MISS it at all.

5 Things You Wanna Know About Veganism

Yesterday I totally forgot about the international vegan day (the same way I totally forgot about Halloween this year) so I'm posting this article today. For all of you who consider becoming vegan - I have few things you should get ready for ..

Vegan Doesn't Mean Healthy
Before you decide to become vegan, I'm gonna tell you something - being vegan doesn't mean being healthy. There is a lot of healthy vegan food, the vegan diet is actually made mostly of fresh fruit, vegetables and legumes .. and there is also a lot of junk food you're gonna have to give up (like milk chocolate, Nutella, hamburgers, milk shakes etc.) BUT! If you don't follow strict plant-based vegan diet (= never eat processed food), the oily fries, chips, and tons of white bread still stay vegan.

Tip: Don't think that if you're vegan, you can eat anything. You can't. Consider Plant-Based veganism or at least try to avoid rafined sugar, white flour, colorants, preservatives and products with GMO.

Ethical Eating

I used to think I'd never be able to get rid of chicken nuggets, scrambled eggs, my beloved cheese, greek yogurt, ice cream or milk chocolate. But the vegan profiles on instagram, vegan youtubers, vegan blogs and food brands made me start finding out more about this lifestyle. On the other hand I have to admit that the ingredients of some vegan products is not perfect at all too. They don't contain animal products but they still may contain a lot of white sugar, flour, preservatives, colorants, palm oil and other igredients which may not harm animals but at least it definitely have bad effect ourselves, our health and also on the nature around us. And that led me to the idea of "ethical eating".
